Hi all, just wondering if anyone has managed to lose weight with fibro and on meds. I'm thinking about trying low-carb. x

Ooops..forgot..saturated fat doesn't cause collesterol....I had mine checked before and after my first year..it lowered it..mind you it wasn't high to start with..it's just that in my lifetime it's been scorned on forever not to eat cheese and butter anything with saturated fat..so I was very sceptical ...but it was great..and has been for years now..👍😍

Hi everyone, I've never posted before so a little unsure of how this all works. I finally got diagnosed 5 months ago after 3/4 years of pain. I'm on so much medication and I keep gaining weight, I weigh myself every week and it's really creeping up. I'm 4ft 11 and I now weigh over 14 stone on one of my many visits to my doctor he has put me on weight lose pills and I'm still gaining weight. I'm feeling really low at the moment and I feel that there is no where to go. Please any advice would be great. Thanks for reading my rant.

Hi Tracey, bless you! Firstly I would suggest you go back to your doctor and ask him to do a medications review. It may be that you really don't need all the meds you have been put on. Secondly, have a review of your diet, and see if there are any changes you can make. Are you able to do any exercise at all? If you can't walk very far, swimming is a great exercise for us fibromites. We all have our low times, but try to focus on the positive things in your life. Hope this helps. xx

Hi, thank you so much for replying even with a house full of people sometimes I feel so alone. I see my doctor quite a lot so we can sort out the meds that I'm on, he's tried changing my painkillers but soon had to switch me back. I'm truly blessed with four beautiful children and I'm going to be a nan for the first time in April, and she is why I want to be the best that I can be. I feel like I diet all the time and never get anywhere. My 18 year old suggested a food diary which I've been doing in hope that I can see where I'm going wrong. Again thanks for replying just needed to talk to someone who gets what it's like to be restricted.x

Aah you're welcome Tracey. Yes a food diary is a good idea, it can help you see if there's a pattern that you can change. Let me know how you get on at the doctors and congratulations on the future grandchild. I have 2 daughters. The eldest is 30, and is disabled, and as she says, she can just about manage to look after herself, so wouldn't be able to cope with a baby! My younger daughter is 26, and says that she's not say ing never; she's just saying not yet! So maybe, one day. xx
